A classic French accompaniment, these tiny cucumbers are prepared without cooking by soaking them in a vinegar brine. Dill and whole black peppercorns season this convenient pickle for a picnic basket.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Cucumbers

10 min

Wash the small cucumbers thoroughly, trim the stem ends, and pack them into a clean jar.

2

Mix the Brine

5 min

Mix the vinegar, water, and salt at room temperature. Add the bay leaf and whole black peppercorns.

3

Pour into the Jar

5 min

Pour the brine over the cucumbers until they are fully covered. Add the dill sprigs and close the lid.

4

Refrigerate

30 min

Refrigerate the jar for at least 30 minutes and serve chilled.

Reminder

Mix the brine with room-temperature water, not hot water; hot water can soften the cucumbers and make them lose their crunch. Refrigerate the jar for at least 30 minutes before eating so the flavors can develop. No allergens are listed.

Salamurayı sıcak suyla karıştırdım, tarifte oda sıcaklığında su kullanılması yazıyormuş ama fark etmeden atladım; salatalıklar 30 dakika bekledikten sonra beklediğim kadar çıtır çıkmadı, biraz yumuşak kaldı.

Sıcak su salatalığın hücre yapısını yumuşatıyor, çıtırlığın kaybolmasının sebebi bu. Bir dahaki sefere musluk suyunu kullanmanız yeterli, kaynatmaya hiç gerek yok.
